In this powerful episode of Adulting with Autism, I’m joined by Clain Udy—corporate leader, autism dad, speaker, and author of Rebranding Autism. Clain shares how a strengths-based approach transformed his own son’s path and sparked the creation of First Ascent, a groundbreaking 12-week program helping autistic young adults align their careers with who they really are.
🎧 We unpack:
- Why strength identity matters more than fixing deficits
- How neurodivergent minds can thrive in the right career environments
- Why parents, schools, and therapists must shift from fear to future-forward planning
- How to test real-world job fit without setting kids up to fail
Whether you're an autistic young adult, parent, educator, or therapist, this episode is full of actionable insights to launch futures—not just manage symptoms.
